I'm just not quite convinced this sunscreen is waterproof

Really. I thought the whole point of putting on sunscreen was so that you didn't get burned. Apparently not. Because in the whole 2 hours I was at the pool, I came home pretty toasted! Even my forearms and my hands are burned. My HANDS!! They don't ever burn!

This sunscreen is seriously a let down. Thank goodness my shoulders aren't burned though. The sunscreen did work there. I'm just not quite convince that this sunscreen is water proof though because I had it on my back and stuff and I had laid out for a little while before I got into the pool. I guess it came off.

See: it even says waterproof on the label! Deceiving....

So I guess in the future, I'll apply it every....30 minutes? Hopefully then I won't get too toasted anymore.

The Expert Tanner

Meet Abbie. She is quite the expert when it comes to tanning, especially when she used a 7th dimension bronzer. Oh did I forget to mention she can't use bronzers because she doesn't rub it in all the way?

Exhibit A:

I hope she doesn't hate me for this. But I did tell her I was going to do it.

So Abbs went tanning today and I went along for the ride. She comes out afterwards and is marching...yes marching...straight for the door and she has the funniest look on her face. Well the first thing I noticed was how dark her legs were! DANGGGG GIRL! Then I noticed that she was red. I was dying laughing the whole way home. But man does that stuff work. So if you're looking for a great tanning lotion, use the 7th dimension bronzer with tingley stuff and pink blush stuff.

Ps. She is just very tan now. The reddness and splotchiness have faded...and she looks pretty even now. Lucky duck. Maybe I should use that stuff next time.

Pss. And one more thing. We started the biggest loser contest between our group of friends today. We all took measurements and weighed ourselves and we have the next 4 weeks to drop a few pounds. Shouldn't be too hard to find motivation. After all, I am to be "wedded" as Abbie would say, in exactly one month from today. Don't worry, I'm not excited or anything.

Mono. H.

I think it's back for round 2. GRRRRRREAT. Either that or the birth control makes me super tired all the time...particularly in the mornings. So as per my mother's orders...I'm on a strick 1030 curfew. Let's just say that last night it failed epically. I think it was 1145 when Dan actually left. So it's a work in progress.

My mom also said to exercise and so I went and worked out with Dan this morning....wow. I'm pretty sure I don't have the use of my legs right now. Oh well...hopefully they'll start to look good again. That would be nice.

And to add insult to injury, I got lit up like a roman candle yesterday after I went tanning. Holy crap my whole body just itches like crazy, but not the big ones, just the little annoying ones. But as soon as I scratch, my whole back just lights up and burns and itches. It sucks. Oh the price to be tan.

One more thing...I have a cancker sore on the inside of my lip! Seriously...my face is finally cleared up and now I've got all of this. Haha it could be worse right? Stress...it's great. Don't recommend it.

So last night was so fun. Egyptian ratscrew and Scum. Hilarious. I have the best friends. Not to mention that Raegan and Abbie were in a crazy mood yesterday (I'm having some serious deja vu right now) so everything was hilarious. And Jacie made no bake cookies. Man I forgot how good those are.

Anyway, life is grand. Can't complain too much about anything. Well I guess I could, but it would be severely pointless. You know, at one point I had a topic of interest to write about for this blog. But alas, it has escaped me. Oh well.

One more thing...yesterday the Baptists came by and were knocking on our door. Well Abbie and Rustin both didn't want to answer it, so I did. Well, let's just say I'm never answering the door again. Okay, it wasn't really that bad at all, but it was super funny, kind of awkward. They told me they were from the New Testament church and asked if I attended church regularly. I said yes. They asked which one. Cheerfully, I said oh that LDS church right there (across the canal). TURNING POINT OF CONVERSATION. The man looked at me and said well that's lovely. Can I leave you with a scripture? Of course I said. They were very polite, I couldn't say no. Well the scripture is Hebrews 13:8-9. I read it after they left and I gotta say...it doesn't really make too much sense to me. So if someone would care to explain that would be much appreciated. Anyway, they wished me a blessed afternoon and it was just peachy. The end.

Food for thought:
3 Nephi 26:11
"I will try the faith of my people."

There it is...written out very straightforward and plain. We're here to be tested and to have our faith tried. It's nice to know that at least He tells us flat out what's up.
